Chapter 460: Price Increase
No one can resist the temptation of spices, not only those petty officials.
Even a few Shangshu in the court were in a hurry!
"Now that the navy has returned, it also proves that there are countless riches in the South Seas, can we go on a wave?"
"Hmmm! I think so too, didn't the little boy already say it before! The imperial court will not restrict anyone from going to the South Seas! On the contrary, it will also encourage the people to go to Nanyang and turn that land in Nanyang into the land of my Great Qin! ”
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go, shall we? I've heard that several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have been getting together a lot lately, probably to discuss the affairs of Nanyang! ”
"Hey! That is inevitable, now not only are they studying Nanyang, but there are also officials in several other ministries, and even those rich people in Xianyang City are also playing Nanyang's idea, and they all want to get a piece of the pie! ”
"That'...... What about the crew? None of us have a steamship in our house! ”
"This is easy to do, I have a small servant at home, a few days ago said that he was going to take a leave of absence for a while, go home to take care of his brother, I came back these two days to know that his brother is a worker in the shipyard, accidentally touched his foot while working, and took a compensation and returned, just so we can hire to drive the ship!"
"Haha! Great, as long as someone can sail the boat, the rest is easy to say! ”
Wang Ben, Zhang Han, Meng Yi and others got together and hit it off.
They had been thinking about the spices of the South Seas before, and they also brought gifts to Xiao Zhengtai's garden.
After asking everything, wait for the Navy to come back and see the results.
As soon as they picked the spices, they sent a boat to go!
A steamship can harvest 100,000 catties of spices, and it can be sold for at least 1 million gold.
One trip can return to the capital, what a cost-effective deal!
The rich people of the people are the same, and they all began to fight the idea of Nanyang!
No way, the temptation is too great!
The shipyard, which had been deserted before, suddenly became lively!
The first to arrive were naturally Wang Ben, Zhang Han, Meng Yi and others.
They are now very rich one by one, and they are not short of money in their hands, and each of them came to Huang Yuan with a silver ticket of one million gold!
"Do you have ready-made steamships in the shipyard?"
The old cargo blinked their eyes one by one and searched around the shipyard.
"Well, there are still a few more!"
Huang Yuan nodded.
On the day of the return of the navy, Ying Feiyu had already sent someone to inform Huang Yuan, saying that someone would come to buy a steamer soon.
He didn't take it seriously yet, but he didn't expect that after only a few days, someone would really come to buy it.
"Quick! Arrange a few ships for a few of us! ”
Kang Anping urged eagerly.
"How many Shangshu do you want?"
Huang Yuan was stunned.
Either the shipyard will not open, or the opening will be a big deal!
All six books are here, and if there is one for each person, it is six ships!
According to the price set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, it is nine million gold!
"Yes, yes! We will form a fleet and go to the South Seas together to ......! ”
Wang Ben was about to go to Nanyang to make money, but Zhang Han beside him suddenly scolded him twice, and looked at him frantically, signaling him not to spread the word.
However, Wang Ben didn't care about that, even if he understood his intentions, he controlled his mouth, "Why are you scolding me?" The fat meat in Nanyang is not only what we are worried about, besides, Huang Yuan is busy with his feet hitting the back of the head all day long, and all the manufacturing industries of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are handed over to him to manage, even if he knows that there are spices in Nanyang, he can't take care of Zhang Luo! ”
"Hahaha! Right! ”
Huang Yuan also nodded very cooperatively.
Zhang Han was very embarrassed, as if he was stingy alone, for fear that others would make money!
"We've brought all the money, where's the ship? Take us to see it! ”
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Zhang Han took out the silver ticket from his arms and slapped it on the table very generously.
"The boat is in the courtyard, if a few Shangshu really want it, the lower official can order someone to tow it to Weishui Wharf, and a few Shangshu can take it at any time!"
Huang Yuan pouted outside the door, and took advantage of everyone's efforts to turn their heads, picked up the silver tickets on the table, and counted them.
After a moment's work, he continued: "Zhang Shangshu, your silver ticket is not enough!" ”
"What? Inadequate? No way? A certain has always been in my arms! ”
Zhang Han was taken aback, grabbed the silver ticket, and counted them carefully one by one.
Good guy, if you really lose two tickets, you won't be able to tell again when you go back!
Once he encounters these pit teammates to make trouble, he will be beaten again!
It's hard to say if you can survive it!
"That's right! That's exactly 1 million gold! ”
At the end of the count, Zhang Han breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the number is right, and there is no shortage of one!
"Oh! Look at my head, I forgot to tell a few Shangshu that the current steamship has been changed to 1.5 million gold each! ”
Huang Yuan patted his head, pretending to be annoyed.
"What?"
"How much? How much do you say? ”
Wang Ben and the others suddenly widened their eyes, thinking that they had misheard.
Steamships are expensive, and no one usually buys them at all!
The current steamer is estimated to be the last batch, and His Majesty bought the rest.
When His Majesty bought it two months ago, it was still one million gold, and counting the cost of rushing work, it was only one million and fifty thousand gold, and now it is asking for one and a half million gold?
"One and a half million gold!"
Huang Yuan paused word by word, and said it clearly.
"You...... You're going to sit on the ground and raise the price! ”
A few of the old stuff suddenly quit.
The price has risen too fast.
Even if it's 1.1 million gold, it's okay to say, barely acceptable.
This time it has risen by fifty gold, who can accept it?
Their money doesn't come from the wind!
"A few Shangshu, I'm really sorry, this price is set by His Royal Highness the Prince, I just do what I am told, I can't help it!"
Huang Yuan said with a look of embarrassment.
In fact, he also felt that 1.5 million gold was too expensive!
Even if it's a million gold, the shipyard has to make money!
But there is no way, this is something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly told him, and he can only do it!
"Let's go! Go to the other garden to find the prince! ”
A few old guys combined, they can't pay more than 500,000 gold for nothing, and they have to talk to that kid about anything.
"Yes, let's go to the prince, just because of our relationship, even if we don't give one million gold, just add 100,000 gold, how can we add 500,000 gold at once? It's too much! ”
"Yes, yes, you have to find His Royal Highness the Prince! 500,000 gold, months of winery dividends are gone! ”
"Go, go, go......!"
A few people walked towards the gate of the shipyard stupidly, complaining incessantly.
As soon as I walked to the gate, I was met by other officials from various ministries, all of them in high spirits, exactly the same as their expressions when they first entered the door!
After greeting a few scholars, he hurried into the shipyard, as if he wanted to grab something!
